Szkolnej

Szkolnej is a form of the Polish adjective szkolny, meaning related to school or educational. It is not a standalone word, but a grammatical ending used with feminine nouns. In Polish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case, and szkolnej specifically appears in the feminine singular for certain cases: genitive, dative, and locative.

The form szkolnej is most commonly seen in phrases where the feminine noun is in one of those cases. For example, biblioteki szkolnej means “of the school library” (genitive); dla szkolnej nauczycielki means “for the schoolteacher (female)” (dative/genitive usage with the noun nauczycielki); w szkolnej sali means “in the school room” (locative); szkolną salę means “the school room” as a direct object (accusative). These examples illustrate how the ending changes to agree with the feminine noun in each case.

Etymology and scope: szkolnej derives from the stem szkol- from szkole, szkoła, combined with standard Polish adjective endings. The broader family includes other forms such as szkolna (feminine nominative), szkolny (masculine), and szkolne (neuter and plural forms), which allow the adjective to modify nouns across different genders and cases.

Usage and meaning: as a grammatical form, szkolnej conveys a relation to school. It is common in official language, educational contexts, and everyday speech when describing objects, institutions, or activities connected to schooling.
